Hi Wayne!

Thank you!

I think i know about witch is the mentioned piano loop. Anchor's http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/1988/hungarian-piano-01-by-anchor-free-100bpm-acoustic-piano-loop

A bit weird, i must admit, but i especially like it in this weird track too. :)
I just feels similar like you, the track is somehow almost falls in the first half - but then in the 2nd half somehow simply... everything moves to his place.

Sorry for the late reply too, were inactive recently...
Regards, traz

Hey Friend

Thank you for the review mate, pleased you enjoyed this one my friend, fairly happy with this one, yes considering first attempt at the genre, will try this genre a little later on, hopefully will be even better then this one...Thanks for fav too...Mate the other version of this one Is up on profile, called Let The Funk Begin 4 on The Floor...Decided to leave both versions of this track up, I like both, different but the same in some way, guessing why I like both, if had to choose would maybe put this one ahead...Peace n much Respect dear friend, so no email yet, will have tomorrow mate...Mosaic...

Well, there always is the risk when it comes to this sort of singing, my throat has just gotten used to most of it haha. Thanks for stopping by and your kind words. Glad you liked it. And I'm definetly getting back in to it, nothing will stop me completely from making music, so stay tuned for new ones! :)

Wayne! Thanks so much for the listen and the comments.

Love & Light,

Mykael

Thanks Wayne, She enjoyed it but my stepdad loved it even more lmao I thought about having my sister do the singing for me since my voice was so raspy, but I decided I'd rather take full responsibility for it haha

Many hanks for the review Wayne. I think I have too many miles on the clock to sound contemporary. Still I've managed to get to the 70s with this one. Maybe I can get to the 80s next time. :)

Thanks allot, Wayne. Glad you like it. The vocals were some samples I found on the net somewhere awhile back. Glad you like the orchestration. I have a great passion for orchestral music, having played in a few in my younger days. I love it when bands opt to have an orchestra back them.

Cheers,
Scott

This song has great advantages such as emotions, simplicity and good sounds

The guitar hung by the effect pedal "memory toy of ehx" this sounds like a sustain pedal I would put them louder yes no problem
I would develop much more

thank you for the advice and feedback

musical greetings

Thank You for nice Comment.

Hi Wayne

I think there are still a couple good things to come in the future ...
cheers

Hey Wayne,

Thanks allot for your comment and kind words. Glad you like my track.

I believe that effect your hearing is a fast delay.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks so much, Wayne. Your comments are humbling and much appreciated and thanks for downloading it.

I will admit, I am still amazed at what we all can do online and being thousands of mile from each other. 20 years ago this was science fiction.

Yeah, I do love Scott's cowbell performances! Frank Zappa said the cowbell is the symbol of unbridled passion.

Ciao,
M.

Thanks for listening man, love the "Title Town" line. glad you like it and caught the references :)

Thanks a lot Wayne.
Ciao, Domenico

Hey, thanks allot Wayne. Yeah, I got into Sabbath due to the drum solo on one of their tracks. I never got much further into metal than this.

To be honest, I can't answer your question on the effects on the guitar. I'm not a guitarist, so don't know.

Thanks a tons for your kind words Wayne! Glad to know you enjoyed:)

And it really feels great when your emotions are successfully conveyed to your listeners. And about the volume, somewhere i feel the beginning is really not audible, hence, it needs some boost there. Will level it nicely once i take up this track.

Thanks, I was trying to get a slight punchiness to em. Thanks for stopping in!

Greetings!

Always feel welcome to give your opinion. I'll never take it personally. I want your honesty, and I'll give you mine. Kissing each others asses will never help our music.

"I felt the middle part was a bit lengthy without anything happening really.....the middle part didn't build any tension or opposing force that lead me to anticipate the ending"

I mostly agree, though I really liked how things went together with the layers. I'll need to add something else there and change the drums, like you said, and probably shorten in by eight measures.

The ending is where my hang-up has been with this track. Several times I've thought to just cut it off and end it with the slow middle part. But the way the bass comes in and the way it sounded reversed with it made me want to keep it in. I probably need to rerecord the guitars there because the tone is a bit odd to my ears. A bit "wongkey".

Thanks for the listen and the feedback. it is appreciated.

Evan

Yo.

Yeah, I guess a bit less psychedelic - perhaps just a different type of psych vibe rather than my more usual beautiful, funky psych stuff. Darker and weirder this time though I never like to go too weird. Gotta keep it melodic and groovy.

I was really planning to disagree with you about the blues thing but I've listened more since your comment and thought hard about it and now partly agree. There is some cool blues playing from guitar (comes naturally to me) but I still hear the Rhodes as being much more jazzy. I have no idea how to play jazz or any other style as I'm a self-taught feel player who doesn't read music or really know any music theory. Give me a good swing groove and I can play in a jazzy way, otherwise I won't/can't.

I like the "jewelry" term. I guess my use of effects and stuff is a bit like jewelry. Hopefully effective and not just pretty adornments with no susbstance underneath.

" I just like it when people break the rules"

That's pretty much my aim with every track. I'm only really interested in creating something new that I can't hear anywhere else. Even if it's not brilliant, I can still be proud of its ambition and intent to do something different.

2:55 is where the big, evil synth horn sound comes in. I think that's what inspired the metal in this as that is a big, badass sound and just screamed "metal" to me. Well, that and the emphasis on the tritone (flattened fifth) in many parts of the track. See - I do know a tiny bit of music theory ie a few note names (oh, and major and minor scales, that's it).

No cello at 2:55. See my reply to Evisma about that so that I don't have to type it again. The new instrument is not gong too well, which is a shame (most expensive instrument I've ever bought but it does look nice) but hopefully it'll come alive when I get a bow. Only subtle cello in this track and it sounds more like double bass (as it's plucked).

" theremin sounding instrument" is a string part plus filtering and delays. Pretty evil and just playing the main horn theme. Haunting stuff. Also returns in the penultimate track section though Evisma didn't like it.

" definite ending, which we don't hear all the time from you."

Hey, you know that my tracks have definite endings. I still haven't done a fadeout. They don't have endings at all on Looperman when they're over 11 mins. But I almost always put a link up to the full thing elsewhere.

Yes, I think the mix on this pretty good. A rather beautiful-looking waveform (and you can clearly see where the metal is). I'm not quite sure why it looks like that but there seems to be some real balance in sounds or something. People who know more about the technicalities of audio might be able to explain it to me.

Take care and glad you like the jazetal.

Hi Wayne,
Good to read your words.
I also believe that the track sequence in a record is very important: I usually listen to music in "albums"
And for me the songs are "chained" together to form the whole picture.
So this was my humble attempt to realize something along these lines.
Take care,
Domenico
